The basic position and quick short movements required are not easy to achieve in player skates.

Also, the goalie skates are designed to prevent the puck from passing through them and to protect the insides of the goalie's foot when the goalie stops the puck down low. And Since I'm a goalie i should know this, not only is are goalie skates use from passing through them and to protect the insides of the goalie's foot when the goalie stops the puck down low. IT also allows goalies to push around their crease easier with a point toe and heel on the blade of the skate.
